    The poll is meant to allow one's views of their respective polity. The E.U. is added as some Europeans may feel a greater sense of loyalty to the E.U. over the traditional nation state. If one doesn't feel that way, then they should vote their feelings for their homeland.

    That's only ONE reason why this whole poll is flawed. There's not even a GAH optiohn. So I didn'n vote

    Pretty bad. The administration has taken a populist stance, tending to totally irrational decisions. The executive believes that he can take over the other branches, and has taken a few steps over the dominion of the other two. Part of the administration appears to have little knowledge of how economy works in capitalism, privileging populist propaganda over political movements based on real data. I see a progresive grow of poverty accompanied by an exponential grow of unemployment.

    Pindar ; Unless people state which direction they think their country is heading then it doesn't matter which direction they think their country is heading or if they think that the direction that they desire is really positive or not . Apart from as a blind recipient of propoganda .
    Are you a lawyer by any chance?
    You ask for generalities to be answered by specifics , if you want to find specifics then you don't focus on generalities .
    If you focus on generalities to back up the specfiics that you want to hear then you are a person who a;lready knows the answer that they want to hear and will not listen when it comes to specifics

    The question is quite simple. It asks how a person feels about their nation's prospects in the future. The direction is either positive or negative. There are no specifics required other than choosing a polity and knowing how one feels about it moving into the future.

    Well by this statement:

    Your knife is blunt indeed.

    Gah! is an option for those who disagree with the premise of a question, or there is no answer that accurately enough describes the answer they feel most appropriate for the question, or the disdain they have for polls or how they feel.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Gah is an inanity. It is the abode of those without the acumen to think through an issue or commit to a stance but nonetheless feel the need to reply.

    "Never" is not very long it appears.

    Minus one point for lack of resolve.

    A tradition that is inane is its own refutation.

    Which makes it a perfect reply for the Backroom.

    Its a paradox, without having the space for an inane response you are left with an inane poll.
